OPTIMUM REALIZATION MODE OF THE INVENTION

Below an embodiment of the invention is described in detail withreference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view of the structure of an embodiment ofthe ear transceiver of the invention; FIG. 2 is a left partial sectionalview of the left front stand of the ear hanger shown in FIG. 1. As shownin the drawings, the ear transceiver comprises an ear hanger, amicrophone and an earphone connected at both ends of a microphoneconnecting rod, and an earphone microphone wire plug-in piece.

In an earphone casing 1, an earphone and a circuit are provided.Connections between rear supporting rod 20 of the microphone 40 and anear hanger and the connections among stands of the ear hanger arerealized by using a movable assembly connecting means (see “Manual ofModern Mechanism” (Vol. I, II), (MENG Xianyuan et al ed. China MachinePress, June, 1994)). A branching supporting rod 21 connecting with theear hanger is connected with the rear supporting rod 20 of themicrophone. A connecting hole is provided on the branching supportingrod 21. A first axle 22 penetrates through the connecting hole on thebranching supporting rod 21 and connecting holes on two connectingpieces on a first supporting rod 23 of front stand of the ear hanger, soas to form a rotatable hinge (i.e. a axle-sleeve structure) connectionbetween the branching supporting rod 21 and the first supporting rod 23.The connecting position between the branching supporting rod 21 and thefirst supporting rod 23 of the front stand can be inverted. Thus, astructure is constructed between the two, in which the first supportingrod 23 of the front stand can rotate upward/downward for approximately180° about the rear supporting rod 20 of the microphone so that the earhanger allows the earphone to be wearable on both left and right ears.On the other end of the first supporting rod 23, there are twoconnecting holes and two connecting pieces, each of the connecting piecehaving one connecting hole formed thereon. Preferably, the connectinghole on the other end of the first supporting rod 23 is about 2-20 mmaway from the first connecting axle 22 as measured from the center axisof the connecting holes to the center axis of the first connecting axle22 Preferably, the connecting holes on the other end of the firstsupporting rod 23 extend in parallel with the branching supporting rod21 and also in parallel with the rear supporting rod 20 of themicrophone. A second axle 24 goes through the two connecting hole on theother end of the first supporting rod 23 to connect with a connectinghole on a second supporting rod 25 of the front stand of the ear hanger.A rotatable hinge structure (i.e. an axle-sleeve structure) is thusformed. In this way, the front stand of the ear hanger is allowed torotate with a larger degree of freedom. If it is not necessary toincrease the rotating angle of the front stand, the second supportingrod 25 can be omitted. Similarly, the connecting position between thefirst supporting rod 23 and the second supporting rod 25 can beinverted. In other words, the second supporting rod 25 may have twoconnecting pieces at the end connecting with the first supporting rod23, while the first supporting rod 23 has only one connecting piece atthis end. Moreover, if it is not required that the same earphone iswearable on both ears, the first axle 22 can also be omitted, and afixed connection can be made. The distance between the branchingsupporting rod 21 and a nearest edge of the earphone casing 1 is withinthe range of 2-20 mm, therefore, a ledge on the front edge of auriclecan be put between the branching supporting rod 21 and the earphonecasing 1. On the other end of second supporting rod 25, a third axle 26substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the rearsupporting rod 20 is provided. The second supporting rod 25 is connectedto an end of a third supporting rod 27 via the third axle 26, and arotatable hinge, i.e. an axle-sleeve structure, is formed between thetwo. Thus the rear supporting rod 20 of the microphone can perform backand forth rotation around the first axle 22, the second axle 24, and thethird axle 26. Other movable assembly connecting means can also beutilized: e.g. spherical assembly formed by sphere and ball socket,connecting means with a central cross-shaped member, and othercylindrical assembly and axle-sleeve connecting means etc; and it can bea connecting means conducting rotation of one degree of freedom rotationor a multiple degrees of freedom.

Moreover, a sliding connecting means and a braking device are employedfor the connection of third supporting rod 27 and a supporting tube 30.The other end of third supporting rod 27 is inserted into one end ofsupporting tube 30, forming a telescopic sliding connecting structure.Other sliding connecting means can also be used, e.g. those whichconnect in a sliding manner the outside of one end of supporting tube 30with the other end of the third supporting rod 27. The supporting tube30 can be circular, rectangular or of other various shapes. To keep theprotrusion and retraction of this sliding connecting means to berelatively fixed, a braking device is provided at this end of the thirdsupporting rod 27. For example, a serrate edge 29 is formed at the endof thethird supporting rod 27 inserted into the cavity of the supportingtube 30, and an opening and a corrugated spring reed 32 are providednear the end of supporting tube 30 to exert pressure on the serrate edge29. Other braking devices can also be used, e.g. expansion or briquettebrake performing elastic compression via an elastic member such as ahelical spring or spring reed, a spring compressed friction brake, and alatch spring bolt brake etc.

Moreover, the supporting tube 30 is preferably made in an invertedU-shape. By using the sliding connecting means and braking devicessimilar to that used for the supporting tube 30 and the third supportingrod 27, one end of a rear stand 34 of the ear hanger is inserted intothe cavity on the other end of supporting tube 30, forming a mutuallyretractable sliding connecting structure between them. To keep theextension/retraction of sliding connecting means relatively fixed, abraking device is provided at the end of rear stand 34. For example, aserrate edge 36 is formed in the portion of the rear stand 34 to beinserted into supporting tube 30, and an opening and a corrugated springreed 32 are arranged near the rear end of supporting tube 30 to beelastically pressed on serrate edge 36. Other types of slidingconnecting means and braking devices can also be used. Thus, byadjusting the depth of insertion between third supporting rod 27 offront stand and supporting tube 30 and between rear stand 34 andsupporting tube 30, a front end 38 and a curved portion 37 of rear stand34 are allowed to be pressed on the lower end of ear gristle withsuitable degree of tightness.

The degree of bending of lower curved portion 37 of rear stand 34 of theear hanger is determined according to the degree of bending of loweredge of ear gristle at the back of the ear. Similarly, the length offront end 38 of portion 37 can also be determined according to the loweredge of the ear gristle and the distance of the lower edge.

Although a simple microphone supporting rod is an integral piece withits one end being connected with a microphone and its other end beingconnected with an earphone, the microphone supporting rod can be dividedinto a plurality of interconnected sections. The microphone supportingrod of the invention can be formed by a plurality of connected sections.One end of rear supporting rod 20 of the microphone is connected toearphone casing 1, its interconnecting portion forms an earphone and theplug-in pieces of microphone cord. A telescopic sliding connectingportion 18 and/or a sliding connecting portion 33 are/is formed betweena front supporting rod 39 and the rear supporting rod 20 of themicrophone. To have a certain degree of resistance during retraction ofthe connecting portions 18 and 33, a braking device for preventingsliding, such as the braking device of a telescopic antenna, can beutilized. Or the above-mentioned braking device can be utilized. Theconnecting portion 18 of front supporting rod 39 and the connectingportion 33 of rear supporting rod 20 can have a rotatable hinge 35. Therotatable hinge 35 can also use the above-mentioned connecting means.The fore end of front supporting rod 39 of the microphone is connectedto a microphone casing 40. The ear hanger is connected with the rearsupporting rod 20 of the microphone, or it can be connected to theoutside of microphone casing 1 or other suitable places.

Partial sectional views of the earphone and microphone cord plug-inpieces of the ear transceiver are shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C.

FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C are the front sectional view, sectional view takenalong A—A line, sectional view taken along B—B line, respectively, of anearphone and microphone cord plug-in pieces of section A in FIG. 1.

Earphone and microphone cord plug-in pieces comprise a plug-in unit anda socket assembly, in which the plug-in unit comprises a plug 3, a plugbase 2, and a plug fastener 4. The socket assembly comprises a socketsleeve 31, a socket base 8, and a socket 9.

Plug 3 and socket 9 are arranged in the socket sleeve 31 of a joiningportion between rear supporting rod 20 and earphone casing 1. The foreend of plug 3 has a plurality of pins 6, and the earphone and themicrophone cord 5 are leading out from the plug base 2. Socket 9 ismounted in socket sleeve 31 of the socket assembly, and plug 3 is alsoinserted into the socket sleeve 31. A plug fastener 4 is connected andfastened in a socket base 8. There is an interconnecting portion 28between the socket sleeve 31 and the socket base 8. Interconnectingpiece 28 is strip-shaped, allowing the earphone and microphone cord 5 ofplug base 2 arranged therein to be rotatable, so that the varioussupporting rods of the front stand cause the rotation of microphone rearsupporting 20 with the rotation of a gemel, so as to achieve theobjective that the same earphone is wearable on both left and rightears. When the earphone is worn on left or right ear, through turningplug base 2, the earphone and the microphone cord 5 are kept to bealways directing upwards or hanging down.

Moreover, the socket base 8 has an upper cap 16 and a dog 15. The uppercap 16 can be removed to facilitate the installation of plug 3. Afterplug 3 has been mounted, upper cap 16 is closed and dog 15 is chucked.Fixtures on both sides of dog 15 are chucked into the fixture slots 17on both sides of the bottom of socket base 8. The middle part of plugfastener 4 is thinner than its two ends to form a slotted spindle 7. Ahole is provided on the socket base 8, and slotted spindle 7 is chuckedtherein, i.e. socket base 8 forms a ledge and slotted spindle whichmatch each other, thereby preventing the plug 3 from moving back andforth while being allowed to rotate within a certain range. Other typesof assembly can also be employed for causing the rotation of plug 3while allowing it to be removed/installed as well as allowing it torotate with single degree of freedom but preventing it from back andforth movement. For example, the outer end of socket base 8 is closed,and the diameter of the middle part of the plug is set to be slightlylarger than that of socket sleeve 31 and inner cavity of socket base 8,then the plug 3 and the plug fastener portion 4 are in the socket cavityon both ends; thus plug 3 and plug fastener portion 4 form an assemblyperforming one degree of freedom movement and having a cylindrical axleneck. Other method can also be employed for fastening and connectingupper cap 16 and socket base 8. For example, one end of upper cap 16 hasa hinge joint, another end thereof has a chuck hook chucking a fixtureslot on the socket base 8 or combining the upper cap 16 and dog 15 intoan integral part. Fixtures are provided on upper cap 16, for directlychucking into a chucking recess 17 on both sides of the bottom of socketbase 8 etc.

Socket 9 in the socket sleeve 31 has the same number of jacks 10 as thepins 6 of the plug 3, various electric wires 11 of the jacks 10 areconnected to the circuit of microphone and earphone etc, and areconnected with outer circuit via pins 6. On the inner wall of socketsleeve 31 is arranged a sleeve slot 14 for fastening the socket 9, whilethe socket 9 has a fixed slot 12, so that slots 14 and 12 tightly chucksocket 9 via an expandable clamp ring 13 to prevent it from moving backand forth while being allowed to rotate within a range, e.g., more than180°, thereby realizing the object that the same earphone is wearable onboth left, right ears. If an earphone wearable on only one ear isadopted, then plug 9 can be directly fixed in the socket sleeve 31, orit can be made as a fixed earphone lead. Since the microphone cord andearphone plug-in connecting mode is adopted, earphone and microphonecord can be easily replaced. In the foregoing, earphone and microphonecord are inserted into jacks 10 of socket 9 via pins 6 of plug 3, whilethe two can also be inverted, and is likewise feasible. Other electricalconnecting means of rotational assembly with single degree of freedom,e.g. currently employed connecting means of earphone plug and socketetc.

FIGS. 4A and 4B are the structural part sectioned views and the leftpart sectioned view of front stand of the ear hanger of anotherembodiment of the invention respectively. FIGS. 4D and 4C are thesectional view taken along A—A line and the sectional view taken alongB—B line respectively. Same symbols in FIGS. 4 and 3 represent the samemembers, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

In contrast with FIG.3, it can be seen from the drawings that the uniquecharacteristics of the embodiment is in that, over the plug base 2 onthe earphone and microphone cord, provided are not only having earphoneand microphone lead out 5 but also a plug supporting rod 19 connected tothe ear hanger. The supporting rod 19 functions as the first supportingrod 23 of front stand. A connecting hole is provided on the upper end ofplug supporting rod 19, and a second axle 24 penetrates through theconnecting hole to be hinge-jointed with second supporting rod 25 offront stand. Thus the angle of rotation of supporting rod 19 relative tothe ear hanger is enlarged. If the rotation angle of supporting rod 19needs not to be enlarged, then a hinge of above-mentioned structure canbe omitted, and supporting rod 19 can serve as the second supporting rod25 of front stand on the ear hanger for connecting to the thirdsupporting rod directly. The second axle 24 can be made as anextractable moving part, thus when replacing earphone and microphonecord, second axle 24 can be removed, and the ear hanger remains mountedon new earphone and microphone cord continuously.

Earphone and microphone lead-outs 5 are provided adjacent to supportingrod 19 of plug 3 on earphone and microphone cord, allowing supportingrod 19, earphone, and microphone lead outs 5 to rotate along with theplug base 2, thereby realizing the objective that the single and sameearphone is wearable on both left and right ears. When both ears arewearing earphones, with the rotation of plug base, earphone andmicrophone cord 5 are allowed to always bypass the upper part of the earupwards and hang down from the back of the ears.

FIGS. 5A and 5B are a front partial sectional view and left partialsectional view of front stand on an ear hanger of still anotherembodiment of the invention respectively. In FIG.5, the symbols whichare same with those in FIGS. 1, 4 represent the same components,therefore descriptions of the same are omitted.

In comparison with FIG. 1, it can be seen from FIG. 5 that the presentembodiment is different in that earphone, microphone cords, and earhanger joined into an integral unit are mounted on the rear supportingrod 20 of the microphone, while earphone and microphone lead plug andsocket outside the earphone case 1 are removed.

FIGS. 6A and 6B are a front partial sectional view and left partialsectional view of front stand on ear hanger of another embodiment in theinvention respectively. In FIG. 6, the same symbols as in FIG. 1represent the same parts, accordingly descriptions of the same areomitted.

Comparing with FIG. 3, it can be seen from FIG. 6 that the difference ofthe present embodiment is that earphone, microphone lead out/plug andear hanger joined into an integral are installed outside the earphonecasing 1, while the ear hanger on microphone rear stand is removed. Thisconnection mode can also be used on an earphone having only an earphonecasing without microphone stand and microphone casing.

The separated earphone, microphone cord plug, and ear hanger of thepresent invention can be respectively connected to positions of inside,outside, upper side, and lower side of microphone rear supporting rod20, and the outside of earphone casing 1. The earphone, microphonelead-out plug and ear hanger joined into an integral can be connected,as an integral, to positions of inside, outside, upper side, lower sideetc of microphone rear supporting rod 20, or other suitable places.

FIG. 7 is a front partial sectional view of an embodiment of an eartransceiver with a clamper; FIG. 8 is a left partial sectional view ofan ear hanger damper shown in FIG. 1. As shown in the drawings, an eartransceiver comprises: an ear hanger, and a microphone, an earphone, amicrophone, and microphone lead-out plug-in pieces connected to bothends of microphone connecting rod.

In FIGS. 7 and 8, the same symbols as in FIGS. 1, 2 represent the sameparts, and descriptions of the same are omitted.

Comparing with FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be been from FIGS. 7 and 8 that thepresent embodiment is different in that an ear hanger is gripped ontothe rear supporting rod 20 of the microphone by two clamping frames 41,47 of a clamper, rather than connecting to the connecting rod 20 of themicrophone directly.

A clamper connecting means is used for connecting rear supporting rod 20of the microphone with the ear hanger. The front end of clamper 41 isprovided with a branching supporting rod 21 for connecting with the earhanger. A connecting hole is provided on the branching supporting rod21, connection is conducted by penetrating the first axle 22 through thehole to connect with connecting holes in two connecting pieces on firstsupporting rod 23 of front stand on the ear hanger. A rotatable hinge,i.e. an axle-sleeve structure, is formed.

Two clamping frames 41, 47 of the clamper are connected by theconnecting stands 43, 44 on both sides via a axle 42 penetrating throughan intermediate connecting hole. An expanding spring 45 sheathed outsidethe axle 42 is suppressed at the inside of levers 46, 47 via twosemi-girders 48, 49, enabling the levers 46, 47 to expand. The twoclamping frames 41, 47 are chucked with the rear supporting rod 20 of amicrophone. When the ear hanger is required to move back and forth onthe rear supporting rod 20 of the microphone, pressure can be exerted tothe outer side of levers 46, 47 to release the two clamp frames 46, 47,resulting in the ear hanger to move back and forth or rotate on the rearsupporting rod 20 of the microphone.

The clamper can also use other types of clamping mechanism, or theclamper may be changed to have a sleeve sheathing outside the rearsupporting rod 20 of the microphone to form a sliding connecting means.With various types of braking devices, e.g. elastically compressedexpansion or brigaette brakes via elastomers such as a helical spring orspring or spring reed etc, an elastic compressed friction brake, alockpin, and a screw and a nut etc, the ear hanger is allowed to move orrotate on a connecting rod 20 of a microphone as required.

In FIGS. 9, 10, the same symbols as those in FIGS. 1, 2 represent thesame members, and descriptions of the same are omitted.

In comparison with FIGS. 1, 2, it can be seen from FIGS. 9, 10 that thepresent embodiment is different in that an ear hanger is gripped onto aconnecting ring 52 of extension arm 55 on the earphone's back cap viatwo or multiple clamp frames 51 of clamping cap 50, rather than directlyconnected onto a rear supporting rod 20 of the microphone. A sleeve 53is provided on the side face of another end of third supporting rod 27of the front stand of the ear hanger, and the front end of supportingtube 30 is inserted into a pipe cavity at one end on sleeve 53, forminga telescopic sliding connecting means. Other types of sliding connectingmeans can also be used, for example., by inserting the other end of thethird supporting rod 27 into a sliding connecting leg on the side faceof supporting tube 30, and forming serrate edge 29 on the end ofinserted supporting tube 30. And an opening and corrugated spring reed32 is provided on the side wall of sleeve 53, so as to be suppressed onserrate edge 29. Other types of braking devices can also be used, e.g.,an expansion or briquette brake and an elastic compressed friction brakeetc., conducting elastic compression via an elastomer like a helicalspring or spring reed.

Using a sliding connecting means and a braking device similar to thatused for the third supporting rod 27 of front stand on an ear hanger andthe supporting tube 30, a sleeve 54 is mounted on the side wall at oneend of rear stand 34, and a rear end of supporting tube 30 is insertedinto a cavity on one end of sleeve 54, so as to form a telescopicsliding connecting means. An serrate edge 36 is formed on the rear endof supporting tube 30, and an opening and a corrugated spring reed 32are provided on the side wall of sleeve 54 for suppressing on serrateedge 36.

In the invention, the earphone is used as a supporting point of the eartransceiver and functions in combination with an car hanger. Theearphone, when not in use, can be replaced by a ring having a similarouter diameter of the earphone.
